Susana Miller returns to Houston for Argentine Tango
Workshops next month, mark your calenders and don't miss
the opportunity to study from this living legend
Susana Miller is the preeminent teacher of Argentine Tango
in the Milonguero Style, a term she coined to introduce
tango apilado to students around the world. Milonguero
Style is a synthesis of Susana’s studies over the years
of the unique dancing styles of the older milongueros. She
was the first person to study the anonymous and intuitive
milongueros' dance, to enjoy tango in the same way they
have done for decades: dancing socially. She has a gift for
deciphering their distinct vocabularies and choreographic
combinations, and transmitting these to her students. In
this way she has developed a rich language that condenses
more than a hundred years of tango tradition. Her work
as a teacher has shaped tango as we know it now, not only
in Buenos Aires, but also around the world.
Her ability to focus on key concepts and communicate them
with ease distinguishes her from her predecessors, since
she can – with a language as technically correct as it is
accessible – share the secrets of the Porteña milonga
with everyone who wants to become part of it. Teacher
of teachers, she has worked with most of the renowned
milonguero teachers and is constantly training new
generations of professional instructors. She has toured
all around the world.
